Sins of the Fathers 가사

There's that counter kid with the Insufficient mustache He's another one of those bright and Funny young know-it-alls He's got the fire of the immortal Soul burnin' there in his Bright porcelain blue eyes He humors me, and like always, I just let it slide Sometimes I'm tempted to tell him "Hey kid, the world still goes on, Even after we've passed through it, Long after we're gone" And who can avoid the sins of the fathers? But you go ahead kid It's your turn to walk on water Well life is God's gift, but the years have weight And I'm logy, a little sluggish My back's bothering me again and my Bones are rigid I feel like I've lived too many years, But then again not long enough I could offer the boy some kind of words of wisdom, Cliches about life being tough Tell him all about unrealized expectations, Pass on a couple of tips, But I've learned after all this time You can't teach these young dogs new tricks I see this world is fast becoming a place Meant only for survivors Where the glands have replaced the heart and soul And we act out our darkest desires So here's another prayer for the boy For God's mercy and His grace For salvation and love And the courage to make The world a better place Well the kid smiles and pours me another cup of Thick bitter coffee He's caught in the sunlight through the window -- He looks like he's from another country (not a part of this unbalanced, wounded world with its wonders and sorrows and joys and miseries) I shuffle out and leave him To his hopes and dreams As I hang on to my memories Well... you hang on too, son Do your best to undo the sins of the fathers Go ahead kid It's your turn to walk on water
